I was able to toss together a quick visual layout for the wiring, for those who aren't schematically inclined. This drawing is for use with the Mighty microcontroller, which is what I have in my pack. Your mileage may vary.
If you use this set up, you can get the SPDT relay here:

and from the same site, you can get the servo cable here:

First and foremost, this diagram was VERY helpful for me but now I am stuck at a crossroads on a pair of issues lol
I, like others, want to use a GBFans kit running off that blue brick 12V battery.
I have the relay from Spongeface connected.
My question is do I simply pick up from the positive of the battery to the rest of this circuit or do I do something absolutely different.?
It's exactly like the diagram except the spongeface vent relay goes in its place.
In the kits I'm wiring up for gbfans boards, I am no longer using a separate battery, negating the need for the charging jack
I take the voltage from one of the three 12V terminal blocks on the sound board, they are all parallel
1. The com goes to the black wire feeding the ground of the smoke module
2. Run a wire from the pos terminal to either 1 of the relay terminals
3. Run a wire from the other relay terminal to the pos(red) input to the module
4. optional, if you want to test circuit without going through a vent sequence, simply jumper a switch across the 2 relay terminals for manual operation
5. optional, if you want to kill power to the circuit, splice a switch into either the ground side or pos side feeding the smoke module
